Question 3 of 5
Post transurethral resection of the prostate, a client has a three-way catheter with a continuous bladder irrigation. Over the last 12 hours, there has been 1400 ml of irrigation solution infused and 2000 ml measured in output from the drainage bag. What is the recording of the urinary output for the 12-hour period? (Record your answer using a whole number) ml.
Correct Answer: 600 ml
Rationale: 2000 ml from the drainage bag (including both the irrigation fluid and urine) minus the 1400 ml of irrigation fluid equals 600 ml of urine: 2000 ml - 1400 ml = 600 ml.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is conducting a history on a male client to determine the severity of symptoms associated with prostate enlargement. Which finding is cause for prompt action by the nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Cloudy urine could indicate infection due to possible urine retention and should be a priority action. Common symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia are urinary hestancy, post-void dribbling, and a weak urinary stream due to the enlarged prostate causing bladder outlet obstruction.
Question 5 of 5
A client is diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia and seems sad and irritable. After assessing the clients behavior, which statement by the nurse would be the most appropriate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Frequent visits to the bathroom during the night could cause sleep interruptions and affect the clients mood and mental status. Incontinence could cause the client to feel embarrassment and cause him to limit his activities outside the home. The social isolation could lead to clinical depression and should be treated professionally. The nurse should not give advice before exploring the clients response to his change in behavior. The statement about age has no validity.
